Chapter 2: Frustration

I can't believe… I just… I don't even know what to think anymore! Inuyasha thought in frustration.

It was late at night, everyone was still asleep. Inuyasha needed to clear his head after that dispute with Kagome. He walked over to the Goshinboku tree. This is where I was pinned. He looked at the tree with sad eyes.

He knew what Kagome said was true. Why didn't he sense it? Why was he so stupid that he didn't sense a demon? Kikyo was definitely not a demon, yet he still believed it was her. Even her scent! He thought with rage. He took his fist and banged it against the tree.

I knew it didn't smell like Kikyo! I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I realize it wasn't her?! He slumped against the tree in defeat. Kagome said that I didn't love her as much as I thought I did. Do I love her? Inuyasha's eyes narrowed. You could tell he was in deep thought, which doesn't happen often.

I don't think I really loved her. We just found ourselves in similar situations; it was convenient for each other. We thought we loved each other, but in reality… we… we just wanted to escape the lives that we had. If Naraku wasn't in the picture, we both would have never found the happiness we desired. Kagome is right, the jewel wouldn't have purified. We all desired something that was selfish in a way. Only after meeting Kagome, that was when I found happiness. Kagome…

"Wait what am I thinking?!" he snapped at himself. She doesn't like me in THAT way. Just a friend right? And same goes for me. I'm such a liar.

"UGHH!" he groaned in frustration. He didn't really know what to do. She was upset with him, he was upset with himself, everyone else was mad at him. He didn't know what to do.

*Back at the camp*

Kagome awoke with a shiver. It was the cold, fall, chill. She sat up in her sleeping bag feeling drained. All because of that argument we had yesterday.

She thought about what they were yelling about. She winced at the memory. Maybe I should apologize. I was kind of harsh. She shook her head. No! I was right. I was just telling him the truth. He needed to hear it anyway. I couldn't keep it bottled up inside forever.

She looked around at the camp. Everyone was still asleep except Inuyasha. He was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he went to go talk to Kikyo. With that, she decided to go to the Goshinboku, not far from their camp. It always helps her clear her head. She started walking there in a solemn mood, enjoying the silence and air of the woods. To her surprise, standing in front of her was Kikyo.

"Kagome, I would like to speak to you."

A/N: Hope you liked it. Kinda left you a cliffhanger though. I know, I'm pretty evil. Reviews and suggestions are appreciated! Ohh and I decided to make this story a little longer. It will have a few more chappies.
